Also if you are running Windows 2003 make sure the local Intranet / Website is not running in IIS, if it is stop it and uniform server will run fine Danny

Hi joejac Is the file in this path "\usr\local\mysql\bin\mysqld-opt.exe" If not you could have an unsuccessful download where some files are missing, this has happen to me before, try to download the file again, if you are using a download manager stop that and download the file as normal with windows, I know my Bit Comet causes problems Or just copy the whole Uniform Server of your XP Machine and try and run that and see if that works, or what problems it produces. Danny.

Thanks for the reply Ric, Now this is interesting it only started since Joomla has been installed and when I was working on one of our sites yesterday morning my computer shut down unexpectedly while I was logged into the Joomla control panel, this could be why!! Last time this happened I think it was a similar thing And now I am getting this message pop up on the server every so often, and when I do get this message if I’m viewing the website internal sometimes it may freeze for about 5 Seconds resulting in the error below. Apache HTTP Server has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Please tell Microsoft about this problem. We have created an error report that you can send to us. We will treat this report as confidential and anonymous To see what the error report contains click here Error signature AppName: apache.exe AppVer: 2.0.55.0 ModName: ntdll.dll ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180 Offset: 00011223 I found this in some of the error Log file, not sure if this has anything to do with my problem ?

All our internal machines access the website, now this is just a thought, each internal computer that accesses the website go through the router, now many years ago I had a similar problem with running PHPBB and found that I had to change the C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\host file and point this to my local server This resolved any issues I was having then so I probable need to do the same again Or do you think I need to upgrade my US to the latest addition Many thanks for your help Danny

This is just a thought, Have you got a Stat counter embedded in the page or any broken links that the site is looking for? This can cause a slow page load Danny

Hi Guys, I have an urgent security question to ask, I am running Uniform Server 3.3 I have 5 websites setup using Virtual Host. And 2 users in House have access directly into the WWW folder as they are updating the websites all the time. Today 2 off my websites had been deleted completely out of the WWW Root Apart from one folder - the administrator folder in one of our Joomla websites Now my first thoughts are that someone in house has be doing something they shouldn’t but is it possible that someone has hacked into my server to cause this? Is there anyway that I can perform a security test online to see if I’m at risk? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated Danny

That’s what I thought Ric, Thanks for the Reply Many Thanks Danny

Hi Guys, Ok I am using Uniform Server 3.3 and I’m running Joomla! 1.0.15 as this version allows me to redirect a logged in user to their own private page inside a sub directory Now at the moment I have placed a .htaccess file inside the folder for extra security but this is obviously making the user login twice to get to their desired page. Is there any way that I can add another type of .htaccess file that allows them to login but, protects their page should someone stubble across their url accidental I hope I make a bit of senses here any pointers would be great Danny

Ok this little problem was easy, Just figured this out but if anyone else is having the same problem this is why. An administrator can upload any file that he or she chooses even if the extension is not in the list, if a user or publisher wants to upload a file the exact file extension must be in the list. Never even thought about this at first as I have been using the admin account for testing so didn’t even need to test a user until now. Running this on a Linux server will return you an error but a windows Server will not, it will just hang a default you back to Step 2 Anyway problem solved just add “doc” for word documents Many Thanks Danny

Thanks Ric, But I have tried those combinations 100 different ways with no luck, the only user that can is the Admin account, I have posted on http://forum.joomlatools.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1627 to see if anyone there is having the same problem, will update this post if I here anything Danny

Just found a little problem with this, Not sure if you have the same problem Ric, but only an administrator can upload files front end, if you give any other user rights to upload a file it does not go to stage 3 just stays on stage 2 screen I will do some Googling on this.... Danny

If anyone esle is having this problem here is Martijn's fix: alter line 177 in administrator/components/com_docman/includes/files.php from: $file_upload = mosGetParam(DOCMAN_Utils::stripslashes($_FILES), 'upload'); to: if (stristr(php_uname(), 'windows')) { $file_upload = mosGetParam($_FILES, 'upload'); } else { $file_upload = mosGetParam(DOCMAN_Utils::stripslashes($_FILES), 'upload'); } Now, let's FIX THE FRONTEND: $upload = new DOCMAN_FileUpload(); $file = $upload->uploadHTTP($file, $path, $validate); to: $upload = new DOCMAN_FileUpload(); if (stristr(php_uname(), 'windows')) { $file = mosGetParam($_FILES, 'upload'); } else { $file = mosGetParam(DOCMAN_Utils::stripslashes($_FILES), 'upload'); } $file = $upload->uploadHTTP($file, $path, $validate); Bingo Danny

Just to let you know Ric that this is now working fine. Thanks very much for your help Danny

Have you tried this: on the computer you are Viewing your website on locally (if you are using windows) Go to - C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and open with notepad and you will see this # Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp. # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one # space. # # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol. # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host 127.0.0.1 localhost Then just add in at the bottom under - 127.0.0.1 localhost # point to my server: 10.0.0.41 www.yourdomain.co.uk #Local server make sure you change the ip number 10.0.0.41 to ponit to your server, Example 192.168.1.34 save and close down all Browsers Hope this helps Danny

Hi Ric, So sorry for not responding to you on this have been installing Joomla lately and this has taken up so much of my time transferring our website into it but well worth it!! , Thanks for all your help and will try this later. As sharing the work around I found it’s not really a workaround but it will do for me as this is only going to be for private members for my site but will get rid of that annoying Box All I done was install the certificate on the machines viewing the website and this box then went allowing me to view the website without the any security warnings But I will have a go with your workaround later and let you know how I get on Many Thanks Ric Danny

Dear All, I hope I don’t waffle here!! I Have Uniform Server 3.3, I have just recently installed Joomla 1.5.6 and all is running fine but I seem to be having a bit of trouble using Docman Plugin, everything is working fine with Docman but the upload is not. When I upload a file it does not go to stage 3 just stays on stage 2 screen Now I have installed this on a Ubuntu Server and Docman runs fine I have increased the php upload in the php.ini and also set the configuration settings correctly in Docman settings, I have also tried installing this on Uniform Server (Apollo 3.5) But can’t even get Joomla 1.5.6 setup as its saying nothing is writable! Mmm Anyway I was just wondering if someone might be able to point me in the right direction to this problem, could this be something to do with the apache2, httpd.CONF File? Many Thanks Danny

Thanks for the reply Ric Have found a work around Many thanks for your help

Hi Guys I am having a problem with the Digital Certificate I am running Uniform Server with a Virtual Stunnel Host Followed the setup posted by Ric - Stunnel securing a single virtual host http://wiki.uniformserver.com/index.php/St...l:_Single_Vhost All is well and fantastic But when I go to https:// I get this box come up Choose a digital certificate Identification The web site you want to view request identification. Pleased choose a certificate But the box is empty, any idea how I can get rid of this? This happens on all IE Browsers I am running Uniform Server on XP PRO Many Thanks DannyH

Hi Ric, So sorry for the delay on getting back to you I have not been very well Well what can I say but again a big thank you for your help it is very much appreciated! And I am going to find this so useful for what I am doing. Thanks also to Kalpz for your input if I need any programming I will contact you DannyH

Thanks Ric for getting back to me, Thanks for the last post regarding SSL, stunnel etc I am really sorry to ask but I am pulling my hair out here, Now what I am trying to achieve is: A user logs into our website and is then redirect to a page I have created for them so they are able to download some personal files Example: Bob logs in and is redirect to Bobs personal page Danny logs in and is redirect to Danny’s Personal page Now be honest Ric, am I wasting my time looking around for this? Is it just best to pay a programmer to create what I am asking, if so do you know anyone that could do this for me? Many Thanks in advance Ric, I do appreciate any of your time and advice Danny H

Thanks for getting back to me Rick, Now can i run SSL, stunnel on the same server that i have go my normal websites on ? Danny

Hi All, I would like to use a login script or a .HTACCES File for logging in users but not sure if this is going to be a easy or not? Basically I would like a user to login and then be redirect to there own page which I have created for them. Do I have to use PHP & SQL or can I just use .HTACCESS Any thoughts or help to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated Nosher

Thanks Ric, Thanks for pointing me in the right place I will have a play round with this tonight and post how it goes Many Thanks Danny

Hi Ric, I have since found this error in the log files, but don’t understand what it is talking about, would you be able to help point me in the right direction please [Wed Feb 13 22:22:42 2008] [warn] (OS 121)The semaphore timeout period has expired. : winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed. [Wed Feb 13 22:22:42 2008] [warn] (OS 64)The specified network name is no longer available. : winnt_accept: Asynchronous AcceptEx failed. Many Thanks Danny

Thanks for getting back to me Ric, I came to that conclusion because the Vcalendar team told me to look at the timeout on the php.ini We are running an intranet and it always seems anyone within the building ‘sometimes’ is getting logged off. I logged in to the system last night from home left it on all night and I was still logged in this morning. Will have a look at the logs Thanks for your time Danny

Hi guys, I am using Vcalendar on uniform server 3.3 When logged into Vcalendar sometimes throughout the day we get logged out and have to log back in again Could anyone tell me which part of the php.ini file needs changing to stop this? Many Thanks for you time Danny
